I didn't get to watch the game.

Did we play Cover 2 ?

I'm not the expert on this but it looked like we did. Most of the time we only rushed 4 and there was a lot of nickel D cuz of injuries.

Our pass D didn't suffer at all without McGee and Whitner, which really surprised me. The run D got a pass because we got the lead and forced Pennington to throw- that definitely worked to our advantage.

there were games where our D played well when we didn't play cover 2 majority of the ballgame. :idunno:

Yea they played cover 2. I was listening to the game on Sirius and the Bills guys were talking about how the backups had to adjust to the cover 2, I guess the corners backed off the line a bit, but they did in fact play a C2.

Yes, and the Jests were rattled.

I think a lot of it depends on the opponent. As we've discussed before, the Bills don't really have cover 2 personnel because they've only had one off-season to build their team. But like I said, the fact that we forced the jets to pass allowed the LB's to play back a little bit. Also, Schobel owned D'Brick all day- the cover 2 depends on getting pressure with the front 4 and the Bills are getting good at doing that (except Tim Anderson).
